A Prayer for Choir Members:

Heavenly Father, Bless these women. Bless these men. You know –

the ones who use the instruments you gave them at birth for the praise and glory of your name.

The ones who lift music off the page with their minds, hearts, and voices to proclaim love and compassion

for you, O Lord.

Let the sounds they share be transformed into your light and love to remind the faithful of your majesty,

your truth, your kingdom, your power, and your mercy.

Help them to echo the word of God through music; help them bring beauty to the sacrifice of the Mass.

Let their ministry be a beacon to all followers of Christ, as we gather in the name of your most beloved son,

our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

All glory, all power, all praise is yours, Almighty Father.

May our offerings as servants of the liturgy help bring about the peace and beauty of your kingdom,

where we wait joyfully for Christ’s return.

- Prayer written by Jon Debellis, published in Today’s Liturgy, September 2018.
